A group to get advice and opinions about your relationship. You will find that we will offer support along with our advice and opinions but we aren't going to blindly agree with you. Share your story with us!

This is an advice board, not a support board. We are a very opinionated group so when you post, be prepared to hear a variety of strong opinions that may not match your own.

Before you post for the first time, make sure you read the sticky (the first post at the top of the message board).

Copy & Pasting an original post- You will see this a lot around here. Get used to it. It is not against BBC guidelines, and it will not go away, so please don't report it. It is used as a reference for readers in the event that a poster either alters or deletes their original post. This is not uncommon, hence the C&P.

C&P means they copy and paste all the posts here so you can't go back and change or erase your story if you freak out. It sounds mean, but, it's so that all the comments and advice that people put up still make sense if the original story vanishes - your story might help someone in your similar situation who's not brave enough to write on her own.

This is a PUBLIC board, which means anyone and everyone can read what you post, so please think before you type. Us GO's are not required to delete a post because you don't like the advice you're getting. We will, however, delete a post for privacy or safety concerns upon request from the original poster.

To sum it up, welcome to the Marriage & Relationships board. All opinions and advice are welcome, but to borrow from one of our members, disagreement does not equal disrespect, so please keep it clean.

We've compiled a list of links and valuable resources for anyone in any type of relationship. If you have any links or resources you think need to be added, by all means pass us a note, and we will consider adding them.

As always if you are in need of immediate assistance please contact your emergency agency.
